This is completely unrelated, but I just want to make an appreciative post to DES's name and logo. It's so cleverly thought out.

DES stands for, as I'm fairly certain everyone here knows, Destroy Entertainment Soldiers. Fairly straight forward, though I believe that there is another reason this particular set of letters were used, and when I started to pronounce the name out loud - the same way as they do in the anime - I found it. This also ties in with their logo; the Skull Reaper logo with a scythe. If you think about it, that logo doesn't tie in very much (except with the text, for obvious reasons) to the meaning of the name.

HOWEVER; There is another meaning behind the letters DES. How does the japanese pronounce these letters in that combination? They pronounce it as "Desu". Not "yadiyada-desu", but "デス" desu. If you type those katakana into google translate, what is the translation you get? "Death".

So, while Destroy Entertainment Soldiers is a really clever name in itself, the acronym is also really cleaverly made~

Tbh, I have no idea why I didn't notice this before, and I guess I just had to get it off my chest, I'm sorry XD
